(Migrated from github.com)

0.8.4, Win7 x64

Simple Help, xxhsum.exe - with no command line parameters no longer works to display a simple help screen.
Instead, you get a 'No input provided' message.

Is that expected?

Oh, it must be, github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash@b1f76e5990.

Odd, IMO.
Is the only reason to set the 'return 1'?

If so, maybe do a 'return 1' in the (what was) 'return XSUM_badusage(exename)' ?

In any case, I just find it a bit odd that no (actual) help is provided, when the xxhsum.exe is provided without parameters.
(Oh, & I'm not a programmer so don't know if 'return 1' in XSUM_badusage..." is even correct or feasible ;-).)
